Summary

Oh Hyun-jin discusses Kosdaq's reversal signal driven by foreign buying and the National Growth Fund's upcoming investments. He highlights opportunities in pharma/biotech, secondary batteries, optical communications, energy stocks, and specific plays like Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Hyundai Motor. He also notes risks from domestic labor disputes, inflation, and delayed data center construction but views them as manageable.

  • Foreigners have been steadily buying Kosdaq, signaling a potential rebound.
  • The National Growth Fund will allocate heavily to Kosdaq pharma/biotech and secondary battery stocks.
  • Samsung Electro-Mechanics is a standout with strong momentum in MLCC, substrates, and silicon capacitors.
  • Optical communication stocks tied to NVIDIA and Lumentum are attractive on pullbacks.
  • Energy rotation is expected across SFC, nuclear, solar, and wind.
  • Hyundai Motor's robotics and defense applications could lead to a value re-rating.
  • Data center construction delays pose a risk to semiconductor stocks but may offer buying opportunities.
  • Domestic labor disputes and rising wages could pressure inflation and corporate earnings.
Trade Ideas
Oh Hyun-jin Team Lead 0:41
Foreign buying supports Kosdaq upside.
Foreigners have been consistently buying Kosdaq in May, with only 3 days of selling, signaling potential further upside. Although a sharp rally is unlikely near-term, the continuous foreign buying and upcoming National Growth Fund allocation to Kosdaq support a gradual rebound.

Pharma/biotech oversold, foreign buying support.
Foreigners have been quietly buying Kosdaq pharmaceutical and biotech stocks at low prices, and the National Growth Fund will likely allocate heavily to this sector. Combined with easing interest rate concerns from US-Iran peace talks, the oversold sector has room to rebound.

Energy stocks buy on dips.
Energy stocks (including SFC, nuclear, solar, wind) should be bought on pullbacks because data center power needs are shifting from coal/oil to cleaner sources. The sector will see rotation and benefits from persistent electricity demand.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics momentum strong.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics has strong momentum across MLCC, FCBGA, glass substrate, and silicon capacitor technologies, all benefiting from AI and data center demand. The company is outperforming Samsung Electronics and has multiple catalysts.

Secondary battery stocks benefit from fund.
The National Growth Fund is expected to invest a significant portion into Kosdaq secondary battery stocks (e.g., EcoPro, Samsung SDI, Aekyung Chemical). This fund inflow combined with moderate buying interest suggests upside for the sector.

Optical comms buy on pullbacks.
Optical communication stocks (RF Materials, Daehan Optic Telecom, DAF Materials) tied to NVIDIA and Lumentum supply chains are attractive on pullbacks. Upcoming US frequency auction also boosts telecom infrastructure demand, creating a catalyst for this theme.
Oh Hyun-jin Team Lead 13:08
Optical packaging boosts HBM demand.
New optical packaging technology (CPO/silicon photonics) will allow GPUs and HBM to be separated, enabling more HBM per GPU. This increases HBM demand, benefiting Samsung Electronics and SK hynix as key HBM suppliers.
Oh Hyun-jin Team Lead 16:54
Hyundai Motor re-rating from robotics.
Hyundai Motor's Boston Dynamics robot Spot is being deployed for US Army landmine detection, adding defense and robotics momentum. This re-rating catalyst, combined with the broader robotics/defense theme, should lift Hyundai Motor's valuation.
